DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed 
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of 
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects 
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the 
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276-0361.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of 
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

Project: Harm Reduction Grant Program Target Setting and Quarterly 
Aggregate Reporting Instrument--(OMB No. 0930-XXXX)

    SAMHSA is requesting approval for its Harm Reduction Grant Program 
Annual Target Setting and Aggregate Quarterly Reporting Instrument. In 
developing the instrument, we sought to elicit programmatic information 
that demonstrates impact at the program level aligned with the Notice 
of Funding Opportunity. In this way, data from the instrument can be 
used to assess resource allocation and to delineate who we serve, how 
we serve them, and program impacts. The tool reflects SAMHSA's desire 
to elicit pertinent program level data that can be used to not only 
guide future programs and practice, but to also respond to stakeholder, 
congressional and agency enquiries.
    The information collected from these forms is to be entered and 
stored in SAMHSA's Performance Accountability and Reporting System, 
which is a real-time, performance management system that captures 
information on the substance abuse treatment and mental health services 
delivered in the United States. Approval of this information collection 
will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet GPRA reporting requirements that 
quantify the effects and accomplishments of its discretionary grant 
programs, which are consistent with OMB guidance.
    SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting 
required by the Government Performance and Results Act Modernization 
Act of 2010 (GPRMA). GPRMA requires that SAMHSA's fiscal year report 
include actual results of performance monitoring for the three 
preceding fiscal years. The additional information collected through 
this process will allow SAMHSA to (1) report results of these 
performance outcomes; (2) maintain consistency with SAMHSA-specific 
performance domains, and (3) assess the accountability and performance 
of its discretionary and formula grant programs.
